In a four-hour interview with police, the 26-year-old Mongrel Mob prospect said the hit was done by the time he got to the gang pad.

Fawcett denies murdering the 27-year-old sex worker, who the Crown says was taken to a Mongrel Mob gang pad in Avonside where she was beaten, strangled, and stabbed over money she owed, either for drugs or for a Mob "tax" on sex workers.

In the recorded interview, played to the Christchurch High Court murder trial today, Fawcett said a woman told him a couple of days later that she had stabbed Manning and kept going until she stopped screaming.

Other weapons used in the attack had been a "pole-hook" and a metal bar.

Fawcett said his role had been to help clean up.

He had seen Manning's body lying on the ground.

He described her injuries as "holes and blood" and she had a smashed-in face.

She was lying on a tarpaulin when he saw her, not moving. Her body was then wrapped up and put in the back of a car.

He was told to be a diversion in another vehicle in case the police approached while the body was being dumped.

If necessary he was to ram the police vehicle.

Afterwards, he smoked some P "to try to forget everything".

He said he was telling a different story in this interview - he had earlier described seeing a "bloodbath" - because he had earlier lied about seeing the attack as he thought he would be safer from the Mob in jail.

ACCUSED 'HAUNTED' AFTER MURDER

Fawcett told police he felt "haunted" after the death of sex worker Mellory Manning.
